Gives it much more of a showroom look rather than a parking lot vibe and Z4s are definitely prettier on the 3/4 angle and you get to see more of the car. Just a suggestion.
It's the staff members who line you up to park, normally it's to get as many cars in as possible.
They'll be 3" apart then. Diagonal parking takes up same volume as standard if done properly... Just thought with it only being 50 cars that they'd entertain being a little more creative. Have been there before in my classic Volvo 1800S and they do just box you in!

There won't be 50 cars as some have pulled out and some just won't turn up tomorrow, always happens.
You can ask the person parking the cars, he/she may allow it.
End of the day it's just nice to meet up with other owners.

Many thank for organising this.

I'm embarrassed to say the Z4 hasn't been washed in weeks, and I've still not removed all traces from the 'paint tin incident'...

Washed mine yesterday. Still had plenty of wax on it following the treatment it got for ZEDfest. However, it will be covered with insect splatter by the time I get to the Ace :x

Thanks to all who turned up, we had a total of 36 zeds out of 38 in the end, so pretty good.
The weather was perfect for the day.

Great to meet up with friends old and new.
